Predict the Election
In before Y2HH goes on another "you sheeple" rant I think Obama carries 8 of those 10 swing states, losing FL and CO. Most Election prediction sites and Las Vegas has Obama as the favorite to win but that University of Colorado model that has never been wrong has Romney winning big Romney 330 to Obama's 208 to be exact, could they be that way off? Mittens would need to win a big chunk of blue states, what gives?

2012 WORLD SERIES OF BASEBALL!!!
QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Oct 25, 2012 -> 08:38 PM) The Sox fan I know rooting for Detroit was born in Detroit and raised on the South Side. Otherwise, the entire city of Detroit can f*** itself. f*** AL Pride. I'd root for the Orioles, Blue Jays, Rays, Mariners, (and next year) Astros from the AL. That's it. I can't stand any team in our division, the Yankees or Red Sox, the Rangers, Angels, and A's. I'll never root for Detroit in the WS unless they play the Cubs. Preach, brotha!!

Donald Trump announcement
QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 24, 2012 -> 12:43 PM) So as long as it finds something, it is cool? Ugh. I never said it was cool, I just pointed out the fact that Flynt was able to find dirt on those two whereas Trump hasn't...

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 24, 2012 -> 12:07 PM) So the Donald is taking tips from Hustler. Excellent. Larry Flynt actually did get dirt on hypocrites like Bob Livingston and Bob Barr who were decrying Clinton's cheating ways while they too were having affairs. The Donald=Epic Fail

The Debates!
QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Oct 17, 2012 -> 08:23 PM) No one thinks that. Stop being dumb. The issue here is that the administration's foreign policy is to bend over and apologize for everthing Americans ever do. Muslim extremists don't exist, What a crock of you know what, tell that to Osama Bin Laden...oh wait, you can't because he's dead along with countless more cronies of his. W saying he didn't give a f*** about the mastermind behind 3,000 dead Americans. http://www.google.com.mx/url?sa=t&sour...7LZ5NX61tAtcllw Obama telling everyone that we were gonna hunt OBL down. Weakness, yeah ok...

Of couse it's my opinion, everything everyone has posted here is their opinion. You're response was totally unnecessary...but thanks for pointing out the extremely obvious for everyone here that didn't realize these posts were opinions.

QUOTE (Jake @ Oct 17, 2012 -> 10:54 AM) Not sure, but Al Gore did not win TN where he served as Senator. I knew that, but every state has two senators and TN is a red state. I know Mass. is a blue state but Romney touts his bi-partisanship yet he isn't contesting his state. I could be wrong but maybe it's never happened before where a presidential candidate couldn't carry the state he was the Gov. of?

QUOTE (iamshack @ Oct 16, 2012 -> 10:47 PM) Biden brought it up in the VP debate I think...he pointed out that Romney isn't even contesting the state. This Mittens loves mentioning his time as Mass. Gov. and how he worked with Dems, Obama should just flat out ask him why he isn't contesting his state. BTW, when is the last time a former Gov. of a state didn't carry his state in a presidential election? Probably a long time ago I would guess.

2012-2013 NFL Thread
QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 15, 2012 -> 01:49 PM) Being the only undefeated team kind of puts them at #1 by default, but considering that 4 of their first 6 games were vs. the AFC West, the Falcons will have to do a little more to impress me. and the awful Raiders gave them all they could handle. I think I might put the Giants as the second best team for two reasons, defending champs and the way they manhandled the 9ers.

2012-2013 NBA thread
QUOTE (RZZZA @ Oct 15, 2012 -> 09:22 PM) I've heard people say they'd want to trade Rose and Thibs. But I just think they ARE the Bulls as we know them. I don't think you're a real fan if you want to get rid of those two, I don't care if it is for Lebron or Dwight or Jesus himself. I was a Bulls fan when the Bulls "as we knew them" were Reggie Theus, Dave Corzine and Orlando Woolridge. I gather you're a young fan so this might come as a surprise but players come and go, even legends like MJ and Pip... So sue me for wanting the best players on the Bulls.

The Democrat Thread
QUOTE (Cknolls @ Oct 14, 2012 -> 05:38 PM) No context for the photo. Conveniently wearing a sticker on the back of his shirt, which everybody does at a political rally. and the other two people in the picture have a flannel shirt and a sweatshirt on, but macho man is in a t- shirt. Keep trying Dems keep trying. Losers. I actually agree with ths. When you first read that message, it looks racist but what if in the front of the shirt there's something else that gives context to that phrase? I mean, we all know there's absolutely no racism in America, much less in some extremist groups of the Republican party, right? StrangeSox, there is NO RACISM, NO HOMOPHOBIA, NO MISOGYNY, NO XENOPHOBIA etc. Get a grip, dude.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Oct 12, 2012 -> 02:15 PM) This is nothing new and has been a part of the process from the beginning. Unless there's a reason to compromise, you stick to your demands. Politics 101. That doesn't happen a whole lot in Washington.

The Debates!
QUOTE (mr_genius @ Oct 12, 2012 -> 01:43 PM) if the Democrats (or anyone) doesn't want partisanship, there has to be some level of compromise and an understanding of the other sides view. if you just think they are always wrong, on everything, well you have nowhere to start. your open is basically, "you guys are always wrong, do it our way". That will fail every time. i just don't see how someone can complain about partisanship while saying the other party has done nothing right for 4 years. that's as partisan as you can get. There was a time when reaching across the aisle was common, Reagan and Tip O'Niell for example. Partisanship really has gotten ugly, it was bad in the Clinton years, worse in the W years and today you have an opposition party that openly admits their number 1 goal is to make the sitting president a one termer. I'm blaming both sides but the Tea Party has driven the GOP far right where they think Obama, who has raised taxes less than Reagan, a socialist. SMH.

The Debates!
QUOTE (Y2HH @ Oct 12, 2012 -> 11:51 AM) I can't speak for "we", I can speak for me. I am better off now on an overall scale than I've ever been, I said this much in the Democrat thread. The issue is most of (if not all) of that gain is negated by local taxes and fees surging. That said, I was better off in 2009 than I was in 2006, or 2007, and I'm better off now than I was in 2009. I'm a bit of an exception to the rule when it comes to this, however, as every year since my career began I've been better off the year after, successively, regardless of the economy. I'm happy for you but my queation was "are we better off today than when Obama took office" and only the most partisan republican could say we aren't. Of course the president has had missteps along the way but if we would've had done what Romney said we should do and let the auto industry go down, we would've been in an even bigger economic mess, that isn't up for debate. Almost a million and a half of Americans are working today because of that 80 billion dollar bail out. I've seen figures that up to 4 million jobs might've been lost had George W Bush/Obama hadn't acted. It would've been a clusterf*ck the likes we've never seen before. Look, things aren't nowhere near as well as we all wish they could be but this last recession was no run of the mill recession and both parties are to blame, some jobs are just not coming back, they're out there in 3rd world countries where American corporations could pay them a fraction of what they would pay here (that is immoral IMO but I won't get into that). The fact that Romney was willing to let so many people lose their jobs is what makes me think he isn't someone who cares about the middle class, add to that that Romney keeps talking about creating 12 million jobs. How? Trust us on it is what they say...

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Oct 12, 2012 -> 11:34 AM) I replied to show an example that all Presidents inherit something bad, to some degree, some worse than others. Obama at least held an advantage in that he knew what he was inheriting before he inherited it, so if he didn't want the job, he didn't have to take it. Some of them enter office and inherit stuff nobody knows about yet...but that excuse aside, we elect these leaders to lead us out of these issues, not stand there and blame everyone else for failing to do so. But as usual, my point is met with typical partisan bulls***. So you think we were better off in Jan of 2009 (when Obama took office) than we are today?
